I liked both Alexandria and Dom and would gave been happy if either one of them had won

On a shallow note...is English Alexandria's second language? She has such on odd, stilted/screetchy way of speaking. And does no one on the Loreal Paris Makeup team have powder or blotting paper? Alex's forehead looked like an oil slick.
I think she's from Sweden. It was odd, there was little or nothing about her family, just those kids at the school she founded, or works at, or whatever. It was quite vague. She's an ex model. I do remember that.

And she kept saying how much she had given up. So, I'll bet you're right, weaver.

I had that whole "pre show" on my DVR where they introduce the designers, but I never watched it and deleted it for space. Now I wouldn't mind seeing her section.

I think I'm giving All Stars a pass. Are you?

Yeah, I'm not sure I'll watch. Alyssa Milano cracking the whip seems pretty awful/ridiculous.

Oh, I need to see who they consider "stars" before I decide, but what the heck, there's always room on the DVR.


ETA: Went over to bloggingprojectrunway.blogspot.com and found this article about Alexandria ...

http://allprojectrunway.blogspot.com/2013/10/bpr-interview-with-alexandria-von.html

She says that Zac Posen mispronounced her name all season, which she thought was very rude, but also he apparently insulted her a lot and even "made up words" to do it -- most of which was not shown on the show. Interesting read - her family came over from Sweden when she was very young, but she grew up speaking both Swedish and English, so that's maybe why she sounds a bit different.

ETA2:

The ‘Project Runway All Stars’ Season 3 cast from back to front: Ari South, Mychael Knight, Seth Aaron Henderson, Elena Slivnyak, Viktor Luna, Jeffrey Sebelia, Christopher Palu, Melissa Fleis, Irina Shabayeva, Korto Momolu and Daniel Esquivel.

What are Jeffrey and Irina and Seth Aaron doing on this show? They WON their seasons! But I will say, I like everyone here except Viktor Luna and Daniel Esquivel. So I'll probably watch it happily.

Well that confirms what we all know about editing reality shows. What would Zac Posen call her, that sounds so odd. Did he use Yiddish phrases she didn't understand or something? She's really defensive, but maybe she was forced to be.

Maybe he called her Alexandra or Alexia instead of Alexandria?

Icy, Christian Siriano shows along with the big dogs at every New York fashion week, and he had a line at Payless which I think is nearly unheard-of for fairly new, young designers. I am not really a big fan of his, but I wouldn't be surprised if he got a Target collection or a diffusion line at a national department store in the next few years.

Project runway allstars is going to be a trainwreck. I'm so there.

The accessory wall is going to be curtousey of.....wait for it.....QVC.

Yeah, insert snerk now. I can't wait. You all know my love of all things home shopping. I believe the price is going to be a capsule collection on the Q. Chloe Dao had one as did Laura Bennett. Both are no longer - but Chloe stuck around for a few years so I'd say successful.

Chloe seems really cool - isn't it true that she didn't want to leave Houston, where her family was, and has grown her boutique and lines there?

I'm there too Shoppergal. I just can't quit Project Runway. I hope Mychael Knight does very well. I really liked him, and his friendship with Laura Bennett. And Korto Momolu - she also appeared on 'All On The Line' with Joe Zee on the Sundance channel - that may be on Netflix streaming now. I LOVED Korto's final runway show on PR -- all of it. I feel like I'll always remember her clothes, the music, the way she styled everything.

Hasn't Michael Knight already been on an All Star show? I remember he came back wearing braces and was surprisingly effeminate. Does anyone else remember this?
I do not agree with the winners coming back to All Stars, unless they did an all winners show. I would rather they left it to bringing back folks who were in the top four or five.
Either way, I'll be there, at least at the start. I also want to watch the reunion and see what ticks off my beloved Tim Gunn. The commercial they have been showing of that intrigues me. Don't nobody disrespect my Mr. Gunn!

Oh it just hit me - Michael was on RHofAtlanta helping Sheree with her line of clothes. That is where I remember seeing him again!

dil, yeah, Knight was on one prior All-Stars -- Korto was on that one too, where Daniel Vosovic won (and where I thought Uli, Korto and Chris March should've won as a trio. I think Sebalia was there as well.) I have missed the previews -- these designers must be nuts to do something that actually provokes Tim. He's got a pretty long fuse - he dealt well with Ken and kooky Vincent from Jeffrey Sebalia's season.

dil I forgot to mention - I got to see Tim Gunn speak at The New School during the 2008 election season...he was not fond of Sarah Palin or her style (someone asked him about that during the Q and A.) I'm a forever fan of Tim's, I think.

Damn you people! I'm gonna end up watching this show. At least we can snark on Alyssa.

Did anyone see the Chris March costume heads for Halloween at Target?

No, but Chris March was on RHONY several times helping Sonja Morgan prepare for events. I like him. I think I might be the sole fan of Jeffrey S., too. But I agree -- don't bring back winners unless it's ALL WINNERS.

Laura Bennett is done?? I need to google! hated that bitch.

ETA: Shame on me. I didn't know that Laura's husband died in August 2012. Very sad for her. Okay, I don't hate her anymore. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/02/arts/design/peter-shelton-architect-who-made-luxury-minimal-dies-at-67.html?_r=0

That's awful about Laura's husband.

Icy - here are the Chris March Halloween wigs. I thought they were cute.

Wigs!

Oh, I am so sad to read about Peter Shelton. They seemed to have a very lovely, warm, wonderful marriage and family. I think Laura and Peter were one of those soul matches - both unbelievably talented, and hard-working - 5 young sons.

andme, those wigs are fan-freaking-tastic. I love them! Boy, I love Chris March.

We're going between the World Series and Lifetime -- I watched parts of the reunion and almost rushed my TV to try and punch Helen in the face. Kate and Ken, too. And I saw the runway critique for All-Stars - some of those outfits were killer.
